VIDEOLOGIC
APOCALYPSE 5D
Pros:
Combines the best of both worlds. Blazing "gaming
2D" , DirectDraw , etc. Fast 3D acceleration.
Cons:
Not as fast as newer 3D acclerators , CPU dependent.
2D not the fastest anymore , expensive
Rating:
5/10

The ultimate gaming combo , or so Videologic says... The Apocalypse
5D combines the state of the art 2D of the Tseng ET6100 with the 3D acceleration
of the powerVR2. Supposedly the fastest combo on the market , the Apocalypse
5D is a major let down. The downfall factor , the price. The Apocalypse
5D combo costs almost 300$ for an 8 megabyte version. For this much money
, someone would be better off purchasing the ET6100 alone for about 100$
and pairing it up with a Monster 3D for 150$. This would save them 50$
and give them better performance. Nowadays , there are way to many faster
cheaper combo's to make the Apocalypse 5D worth buying.
